Through our internal FirstJob programme, we’ve now enabled over 2,500 youth to gain experience with over R280m invested since 2018. For over a decade, we’ve also been running a graduate programme and continue to employ most of the participants. Some of those graduates are leading key positions in our business to deliver helpful solutions to our customers,” he says.

“People are the heartbeat of our organisation and remain core to creating life-changing financial services and fintech solutions for our customers. As a result, we’re investing heavily to create an innovative, productive and rewarding environment for our people across our markets.
